How does the skill prevent worktree files from being committed?

The skill performs a safety check using 'git check-ignore'. If the worktree directory is not ignored, it will automatically update your .gitignore and commit the change before proceeding.

Where are the worktrees actually stored?

By default, the skill looks for .worktrees/ or worktrees/ within your project. If neither exists, it checks CLAUDE.md for preferences or asks the user to choose between a local or global hidden directory.

Which programming languages are supported for auto-setup?

The skill currently auto-detects and runs setup commands for Node.js (npm), Rust (cargo), Python (pip/poetry), and Go.

What happens if the baseline tests fail?

If initial tests fail in the new worktree, Claude will stop and report the failures, asking for your permission to either investigate the pre-existing issues or proceed anyway.

What is the primary benefit of using Git worktrees with Claude?

Git worktrees allow Claude to work on a new branch in a separate directory, meaning you don't have to stash or commit unfinished work in your main workspace to start a new task.

開発者ツール

Manages isolated Git worktrees to enable simultaneous multi-branch development without polluting the main workspace.

概要

The Git Worktree Manager skill empowers Claude to create and maintain isolated development environments using Git's worktree feature. It systematically handles directory selection, verifies that worktree paths are properly excluded via .gitignore to prevent repository pollution, and automates environment setup for Node.js, Rust, Python, and Go. By establishing a clean test baseline before implementation begins, this skill ensures that developers can switch between tasks or brainstorm new features without disrupting their current working state.
